Browning the meat beforehand adds depth, while allowing spices to simmer enhances flavor, and slow cooking unlocks richness—my secret touch? A splash of coffee and a dash of cocoa powder for an extra layer of complexity!

Hey there! Don't forget to throw in some diced veggies for extra flavor and texture. And if you really want to take it up a notch, try adding sour cream or shredded cheese on top before serving. It is always a winner!
